Shareece Wright worked as the Bills' first-team cornerback in Friday's practice after the trade of Ronald Darby.

You may recall Wright's name from last year's Ravens, where he got cooked so often in coverage PFF's Pat Thorman nicknamed him "Char-reece" for the extreme frequency at which Wright got burned.

Nelson (5’11/200) turned pro as a redshirt junior after starting his first two years at Hawaii and final season in Madison, where Nelson led the nation in pass breakups (21) and earned first-team All-Big Ten.

Nelson is a candidate to "redshirt" his rookie year.

"He doesn’t look close to me at all," were coach Jon Gruden's words on Tuesday. "I’ll leave it at that. He doesn’t look close to me at all." Gruden's tone seemed to indicate he believed Melifonwu should be further along in his rehab. Gruden said just last month Melifonwu's return wasn't far off. The No. 56 overall pick of last year's draft, Melifonwu was limited to five games by injury.
